So what did he not push? He was extremely forthright in implementing policies which obviously indicated to anybody with a brain that he took it seriously. As for his supposedly "downplaying" it, everybody did, including the WHO, the Dems, the Press, Dr. Fauci, which obviously includes those who would know as much as Trump about the severity. Even Biden in those early days warned us not to panic about the virus.
Obviously, you need to believe that Trump's effort to avoid panic was the sole responsibility for our death total, even though he was criticized for his early travel ban, and that Dems were saying that it was OK to gather in groups without masks or social distancing.
You latch on to that notion like a dog with a bone--with the same lack of thought that the dog would employ. But that is a generous characterization. The more insidious truth is that you know what you are doing.
